Find out where parking is illegal, what streets are closed for Blues on the Green

From the Austin Police Department:
The Austin Center for Events (ACE) will add additional temporary signage near Zilker Park identifying areas where parking is restricted for the remaining installments of this year’s KGSR Blues on the Green season, which will take place on July 13 and August 3.

Signs will be placed in the neighborhoods adjacent to Zilker Park, including all or parts of Barton Hills Drive, Trailside Drive, Kinney Avenue, Garner Avenue, Barton Boulevard, Spoffard Street, Sunset View, Cliff Drive, Linscomb Avenue and Virginia Avenue. Ticketing and towing will be enforced for violations in all no parking areas on the days of each event, between 4 and 10 p.m.

In order to streamline pick-up and drop-off operations, there will also be a designated passenger drop-off zone on Sterzing Street. See the map below for the location of the drop-off zone and parking-restricted areas, marked by red dashes.

City of Austin

Parking will be available at Stratford Fields and Zilker Park Polo Fields for a fee. Once these lots are full, no more parking will be available.

In order to avoid parking altogether, Blues on the Green attendees are encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation to get to the event, including transit, biking, walking and ride-hailing services.

Capital Metro bus routes 3, 4, 30, 338, 484 and 803 all drop off near Zilker Park, as shown in this map. Those planning to bike can lock up at one of the many bike racks located at multiple places throughout the park or use a nearby B-cycle station. For more options, check out KGSR’s “Getting There” guide.

The street closure plan that has been in effect for the Blues on the Green installments in May and June will remain in effect, though portions of it may change at APD discretion. See this map below for details.
